EUROPE AND THE ORIENT.
Conversation between IL Chinese and "a
Japanese Nirlomat-SovclC ConclusiOn.

Conversation Between ~ Chinese and "a
Japanese niplomat-Sovcl Conclusion.
Somr time ago friend of mine, who
speaks tho Chinese language, listened to n
conversation between Chinese and
JalHins' diplomatst which forcibly illus.
traic'l the progress that European ideas have
ma'lo in the far east. The two men were dis
russinS the question as to how much of
western civilization it was desirable to intro
tluca into their respective countries. The
,!ipnuutit from China was greutly im-
pressed with the immcaS,rahlc superiority of
European sciences over anything of tho
sort existing i'll that empire. The
japanese fully agreed with his friend that
both China and Japan should profit
to tho uttcrmoSt by the fruits of modern
inventions md discovery; but he re-
marked that that was not enough AM, that
something moro was needed Pressed to say
what it was lie replied that to the science
they ought to add the religion of Europe
Tho Chinaman differed from his friend on
that point, hut the latter repeated his opinion
in Yet stronger language. He said that al
though tho Japanese government did not
know much about the Christian religion and
attached no more Importance to it than they
did amy other form of supernatural belief,
they at one time seriously thought of taking,
i. over and making it the religion of the state
Tho Chinaman still expressed his incrclulty
;ss to the wisdom of such proceeding, but
the japanese clinclicl his opinion hy refer
ring to the case of the Turks.
"l.onk at the Turks" hc said; "thcy have
awaited themselves of all of tho benefits they
could derive from modern science. They havo
gunloa's and ironclads and artillery, hut yet
they are losing grouml every day. Science in
this instance does not suffice to arrest national
decay, and therefore l am forced to believe
that tho Turks have made mistake in stick
ing To their religion instead of adopting that
of the stronger race"
This remarkable conversation took place in
London. AS evidence that, so far ns the
japanese diplomntiSt wa, concerned, it was
not empty sound, | may mention that, ut the
request of the Japanese authorities, a conf
mit.cr has been formed in this country for tho
purpose Of establishing female boarding
schools in tho city of Toxic. They desire to-
soc established institutions in which Christian
ladies would impart instruction, both secular
and religious, to Japanese girls of the upper
classes, and am assured hy friend who is
interested i'll the matter that before long the
experiment will he made. The japanese ny
nosiic, although utterly skclhirai himself, is
quito willing that his daughter should lc
taught amy religion which would onablc them
to better ;hrir condition in this world. New

james Barton Key tells an odd story about
the first English production of "Jnck," which
enjoyed such II prosperous run at tho Grand
last week. 1t seems that Mrs. Horny Beckett,
the author, took her inspiration from an old
French play, but her work on the piece was
entirely original, she having changed the con-
struction entirely and keeping only tho
motif Sho originally sold the play ten years
ago to Harry Montague and it was played by
him i'll this country under another name.
He, however, received his San Francisco
offer and left to accept it. Sothcrn fell in
love with the pirco and was to have produced
it had his death not occurred just then BY
the terms of the contract it reverted to Mrs.
Beckett and it was again sold by her to Mr..
IlYmpton. About two months before it was
produced i'll London she was asked by pub
Usher for whom she worked to write II short
novel. The price was alluring but she had
no theme handy. In despair she took tho
play and turned it into novel, putting in
only enough description to connect tho
scenes.
"The novel came out before the play did"
said Mr.. Key, "anl some hark writer in Lon
don perceived its dramatic value and turned
it into play. As luck would have it, our
play WAS produced anonymously and tho
hack writer was there. He was astoundetl
and when he saw Mrs. Beckett responding to
the calls for author lie raised slch row
that We were obliged to conduct him behind
the scenes to her. He was so enragcd that ho
could hardly speak He claimed to bc tho
